Mountain Region Director
Dave Seabeck
Larimer County, CO
My home base is the Rocky Mountains. Simply seeing the mountains on the horizon lets me know I’m home. After college and 4 years teaching English in Japan, I settled in Northern Colorado and have been here for the past 16 years. My wife and I enjoy packing the kids to visit family and explore the world together. When we’re not traveling I enjoy putting on an audio book or podcast and watching the sun rise over the mountains in the mornings while I run through my neighborhood.
